Dame Malice

DAME Malice reigns the Queen of hags;
   With wink and whisper, nod and chatter,
She trots along, and never fags,
   While she has scandal-seeds to scatter.
 
Then when her seeds are poison-weeds,
   That choke the corn and spoil the labors
Of king or clown, her feats to crown,
   She’ll dance a reelet with her neighbors!
